Board designates finance director to calculate 2026 tax rate
Summary
The board named Courtney Bagwell as the officer responsible for calculating the 2026 tax rate under Texas Tax Code § 26.04(c), a procedural step required before the district posts tax-rate notice and publishes required calculations.
The Hardin‑Jefferson ISD Board voted to designate Courtney Bagwell, the district’s finance director, as the officer charged with calculating the 2026 tax rate. The motion, made by Jonathan Haskett, Jr. and seconded by Jeremy Vanya, cited the requirement in Texas Tax Code § 26.04(c).
"Motion by Jonathan Haskett, Jr., seconded by Jeremy Vanya, approving that the Board designate Courtney Bagwell, Director of Finance, as the officer responsible for calculating the tax rate for the 2026 tax year, as required by Texas Tax Code § 26.04 (c)," the minutes record. The motion passed unanimously among trustees present.
Designating a qualified district officer is a routine procedural step that enables the district to compute and publish the rates required for the formal tax‑rate adoption process later in the summer.
